#2 Liverpool putting up a real fight

Liverpool is determined to challenge City all the way

On a night when Tyson Fury came out to watch a night of Premier League football just days after his gruelling twelve round battle with Wilder, Liverpool also put up their own fight - albeit in different circumstances, and with far less at stake.

Manchester City are, to many people, Champions-elect, but Liverpool are making sure that they would not have the easy procession they had last season.

Having won the Merseyside derby in the most dramatic of circumstances over the weekend to return the deficit at the top to two points, City once again laid their marker against Watford, temporarily moving five points clear to pile the pressure once more on The Reds.

Kloop decided to rotate his squad and leave out some regulars including his much-vaunted front three, and for much of the match it looked like it would be a decision that would backfire, as Liverpool huffed and puffed in vain, and to make matters worse went behind on the hour.

However, true to their form this season, they rallied back to complete a turnaround victory and return to the status quo at the top ahead of City's marquee trip to Stamford Bridge this weekend.

Liverpool might very well be the underdogs in the league title race, but they are determined to make sure they don't go down without a worthy fight.
